Right now is a race between declining demand and declining availability. Declining demand is decidedly winning. On the flip side oil projects are getting shut off left and right because of economic feasibility. This is a problem because we needed these projects to ease the decline of peak oil. Now we are headed for a cliff. Eventually declining availability will pull ahead. This may be a year plus. I don’t think Opec will cut enough to make a difference.
OTOH, today Bush threaten Iran again so maybe oil will get a new years surprise from Israel.

December 5, 2008 at 2:19 PM #311958La Jolla RenterParticipantI think oil is going lower short term, and when it hits $25 a barrel, I will look to by the ultra oil ETFs.
FYI the middle east producer’s cost is about $2 a barrel. And I have read the incremental cost can be as low as 40 cents.
How the heck do you think they built Dubai anyway.
I would be cautious if you think it is a no brainer at $40 think it is going to snap back to $80 for a quick profit.

December 5, 2008 at 2:36 PM #311983stockstradrParticipantNow here’s where I ASK FOR ADVICE.
I’m fairly weak on knowing which big cap oil players are the better positioned for stock price increases, once oil price starts to recover.
So who on this forum has done good research, and can advise us which are the oil sector companies to invest in for long-term? Tell us why you like the companies you recommend?
Exxon?
Petrobras? (Brazil play)
PTR? (China Play)
BP? (more diversified?)
COP?
MRO?Others?
